no federal tax, new tax. only the collection of existing state sales taxes. that's all we're asking for. now, our opposition comes from several quarters, but primarily from no-sales-tax states like oregon, montana, new hampshire. those senators from those states where they pay no sales tax whatsoever would not even require their internet serls to collect -- sellers to collect sales tax on sales made in other states. at the end of the day if marketplace fairness act passes, the citizens of oregon will not pay one penny in sales tax more -- they pay none -- nor will the citizens of montana, delaware, or alaska. the state law prevails. we coapt don't change it at all. but to suggest you can sit in oregon as an internet retailer and sell into other states at a disadvantage to the local businesses, not collect sales taxes, is unfair. and what we ao achieve here is fairness and balance. we have obviously the major retailers across america supporting this but more. we have units of government that are now not receiving the sales tax seats from internet -- receipts f

this bill does not create new taxes or increase existing tax taxes. instead, the bill will help states and cities collect billions in unpaid taxes already owed, reducing the need to raise new taxes on tax compliant businesses and citizens. indeed, yesterday i was with my governor and he indicated that if we could pass this at the federal level and allow the state of rhode island to collect approximately $70 million a year, he would propose a reduction in our sales tax, which would benefit all the people in rhode island and also benefit the businesses in rhode island because they would have a smaller sales tax margin to pay. so this is a proposal that i think is not only necessary, it's long overdue. in 2012, as i've indicated, rhode island estimated it lost approximately $70 million in uncollected revenue. the revenue was legally owed but because of this loophole, it went uncollected. this puts pressure on individuals and businesses that play by the rules. indeed, if the marketplace fairness act becomes law, rhode island has provisions in state law, a
